Installation

The Quick Start shows how to run the theme directly. Next we will use abridge as a theme to a NEW site.

1: Create a new zola site

cd mysite

2: Install Abridge

Add the theme as a git submodule:

git init  # if your project is a git repository already, ignore this command
git submodule add https://github.com/jieiku/abridge.git themes/abridge

Or clone the theme into your themes directory:

git clone https://github.com/jieiku/abridge.git themes/abridge

touch templates/.gitkeep
rsync themes/abridge/config.toml config.toml

rsync themes/abridge/COPY-TO-ROOT-SASS/* sass/
rsync themes/abridge/netlify.toml netlify.toml

netlify.toml settings to deploy your repo with netlfiy.
package_abridge.js node script to: update cache files list in PWA, minify js, bundle js

4: Add new content

Copy the content from the theme directory to your project or make a new post:

rsync -r themes/abridge/content .

zola serve

Zola will start the dev web server, accessible by default at http://127.0.0.1:1111.

Contributing and Philosophy

We'd love your help! Especially with fixes to issues, or improvements to existing features.

The goal is for Abridge to be lightweight, fast, and to work properly even if javascript is disabled or blocked.

The only feature that may be considered a necessity that relies on javascript is the Search.
